For many items, there would be no reason to buy multiples. They are items you purchase once and hopefully have for a long time. It's different for items that have a lot of use, unless you are just purchasing for gifts.

That said, I have purchased repeats of the same items many times. I purchased five pair of identical pajamas I loved and still have them all. I'd buy five more, if they were still available. The same with favorite t-shirts and casual wear, although I may buy different colors. Also cosmetic items always need refreshing. So, there's lots of reasons to buy again to stock up day-to-day items.

If I find something I like, I will always go back for more. I have stashes of things I don't want to run out of e.g., skin care, body washes, candles, etc. I just don't need someone to remind me to --- buy again. No one does.

@BlueFinch I also often buy it again after that website nudge, and send it to a different address. That becomes a gift, or just something I now know that a family member would like. I know how it fits, tastes, cleans, or operates.

@ Blue Finch

your first paragraph encapsulates what i am saying! thank you for understanding what i am saying !!

why this is irksome to me, is b/c i would not buy the same exact handbag @ $150 or more

the same exact cardigan

the same exact boot

the same exact sandal etc...

it would not bother me if they showed me the same boot in a different color, that's fine.

point being: the same exact item.

like i said, i don't mind suggestions for something in the same category, that's fine and i do understand sales tactics.

amazon is a whole different animal than QVC in my eyes....they have soup to nuts. its not apples to apples..

maybe b/c i scroll down to get the forums, that i see it a couple of times a day and i find it just annoying.. oh well, i can feel annoyed just like everyone else here.

this sales tactic does the opposite of its purpose for/to me.
